Tell me if i'm talking bollocks, or this has already been discussed? To my mind bar 93/94(which we knew wouldn't follow on due to money problems) This is easily our best season since widespread use of the internet, along with the feel good factor from everyone, and as we are the unofficial voices of STFC, how about our own awards to players/ staff etc? Doesn't even have to be the standard type although best TEF player and Loanee would be good (the thread on Ward strated me thinking) As did the ticket office blokes who are unsung but have always done a cracking job for me. Get the club involved (if they want to sanction it) if they do, do the presentations at a sponsored game or something? Just brainstorming and like i said i'll shut up if it's been done already.

Danny Wilson cheese of the season? For me its Brie

I like the old "out of the box" thinking, even if i hate the phrase well done bob. top of the class, i think that describes the aesthetics of the trophy(s)

What about the DV Billy Paynter brown nose award for most improved player? JPM

Luxembourg fan of the year? I'll vote me.

The chap with the Scottish accent was chatting to me about how shite Leeds were last night when getting my ticket for Elland Road.  Even the bloke in the ticket office cares.

Oh yeah, awards would be cool.

I think the supporters club, disabled supports and the trust (maybe?) give out a player of the season award - so I dont see why we cant add a TEF one.

Best Loan Signing would be a good one, as its not one thats usually done and as far as I know, even if they have played enough games they arent usually allowed to be voted for, for Player of the Season.

The Ralphy best away trip of the season

Shortlisted (so far) Brentford,Fulham and Southampton

Ginger fan of the year award

Best left footed player of the year award

Best former bricklayer of the year award

The TEF awards should be about twattish things though like best celebration, most cuntish haircut, Nicest bum.

You're just suggesting things you would have a chance of winning....cheat

The Derek Riordan most unpleasant visiting player award.

we should have a Youre not welcome here award and send it to an opposition player :)

Or send it to one of our crap loan signings..(Ben Hutchinson c/o Celtic)

Best insult to another player award.

Best half time entertainment of the season

The Rick Wakeman annoying fan of the year award.

The Grant Holt best away day pie award.

Cross field ball of the year award

Toughy that one.

The Cow flavoured hot drink of the year award.

Oxo would get runner up prize. Since there isn't another beefy drink on sale we'd have to leave the winner trophy unallocated.

FFS i know how Baron Frankenstein felt now..

Because three is more than enough.

I'm on board with the more unusual ones though - how about best substition?

The Baron Frankenstein suggesting daft awards award

3 isnt enough.

Panto style arguing it is then - oh yes it is.

As long as it's beer related i'm game, oh anyway didn't i tell you to fuck off last week?

"The suttonred award for telling people to fuck off for suggesting a suggesting daft awards award" award.

I nominate suttonred - see above.

dont be so fucking gay you bunch of tossers

The master of the understatement award - Fred Elliot.

The KOT your names not down so your not coming in award.

Probably. Every bugger else has. I lose track to be honest

fuck off Paul :D

This.


Plenty of candidates this season, for sure.

I suppose we could do a Loud and Proud one as well, something along the lines of 'Most Hits On Stanley's Facebook'.

Gotta be Bennett  :)

The Fred Elliot 'mastery and creative use of the English language' award

i like the idea of some forum awards for players etc,but all this cheese bollocks i aint really a fan of.
can we do the awards seriously like we do with donating to good causes and that?
keep this to the 25% football maybe?

i think based on recent conversations we should up the bollocks and less football at the top.

probably a 10% to 95% split now

Loasn signings can be voted for in most awards anyway as usually the only stipulation is they have had to have played x games

I wouldn't want our players playing in Xgames, they might pick up an injury.

It was started in that spirit from me, but seems to have degenerated somewhat once people got back from the pub.

oi! I wasnt at the pub. Im just a fuckwit.

This

"Arriba's Grumpy Cunt Lifetime Achievement Award 2010"

even more so from me

I wasn't drunk, nor am i a fuckwit. Merely incredibly witty and original*

FUCK OFF TWAT

The "FUCK OFF TWAT" Award, sponsored by the TEF Darling, the one, the only JAYOHAITCHENN!

Can't we incorporate both seriousness with our beloved 'bollocks' - There are endless possibilites.

The Bangkok Red Armchair Supporter of The Year Award

The Herthab Best Forum Political Discussion Award

The Talk Talk best dressed man in denim award.

The Ralphy Fastest Player's Car Award

It should definitely be 'The Ralphy award for most original idea that herthab hasnt already used'

Doh! Didn't see that!

Back on topic; I think a whole host phoney awards would make us look a bit mickey.

My suggestion would be to do a "thetownend.com moment of the season". And no, I don't mean Fred Elliott falling over into a puddle of his own piss, I mean a great goal, a well crafted move or a superb tackle etc.

That would need to be a one off then and I am afraid that I fall over into a puddle of my own piss most weekends

I must admit, I did like the idea of best loan signing.

Its a proper decent award, plenty of competition for it - no obvious winner and one that as far as I know isnt already done.

Best goal and best loan signing are good ones.

The Samdy Gray I've Got Too Sensible Since Fatherhood Award

Or the Bushey Boy "Don't let marriage get in the way of football" award.

The TEF "least likely to ever take a wife" award

Surely the "Bushey Boy Bouff of the Season"?

i agree.hence why i said what i did earlier.
your idea is a good un,and i'd like us to do the bog standard 'tef player of the year'(and i dont mean jayo shaggin old grannies either)
'goal of the season' etc,etc.boring?maybe, but it would still be an award for players and staff,and would put the forum out there to the massses.you never know, we could gain some more decent posters to add to those that have recently joined.
people on here slate other forums for being shit(rightly so) but having awards about cheese etc will make this forum look stupid to those who dont post,or know anything about it.

What is your favourite cheese arriba?

How about 'TEF Champagne Moment' like they do for the cricket on TMS?

knob

Do you not find that a cringeworthy? There's already awards voted for by fans. What makes us so special? This next award was voted for by a bunch of tosspots on a sweary forum....

If you want to be noticed then try jumping 10 double decker buses on a milk float or something.

i dont find it cringeworthy no.nothing to do with being special, but as the busiest town forum, why not have a player of the year award from here?

Because there's already awards voted for by fans. Why don't we just vote in those and all be fans together and have a manly wrestle?

I would like to vote for thisis comment of the year. That would be a cracking contest.

I'm kind of with spacey on this (except for the manly wrestle bit). Having a separate one kind of implies we're taking ourselves a bit too seriously.

The Stuwall moment of the year award.

"Scapegoat of the year" award, or even a "Next year's potential scapegoat" award are where my votes are.

In fairness, although it'd be cool, it does make us look even more up our own arses. I know we're easily the most important and knowledgeable town fans, but do we need to publise something that everyone already knows is fact?

Is that a dirty dancing quote?

soapy tit wank i think JFW is a shoe-in for that award!

Nothing wrong with that Pauld.....does our egos good now and again...i think any Town player winning the TEF player of the year would be well chuffed..just the one award would suffice though.

The USP that this forum has is that it is funny. It doesn't take itself, the club, the game, or anything else too seriously.

If it soponsored an award it should be as fucking silly as possible.

"The player least likely to receive an award" award?

I've been thinking there too much football and not enough bollocks....not enough Birdy.

I like Pullen's Jason Drysdale award, although it should be called the Lord Lucan....got to be Alan O'Brien....

What about best booking?
best celebration?
best wag?

Knob cheese?  I really prefer Stilton, but each to their own.

Surely Kurt Hammonds, pro contract now but can't remember him even making the bench. I think he's been injured a bit.

This is one that could actually be done. My vote goes to Kevin Amankwaah. He's nowhere near bad enough to win 'most improved player' but isn't going to get anything else.

I really rate Amankwaah.

Buy him a fucking trophy then

I'm here Reg, don't worry, I can't let go!  Just more of a lurker these days.
